Article Abstract
Tracheostomy-dependent patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) face an increased risk of tracheoinnominate fistula (TIF), a rare yet often fatal complication of tracheostomy. We present a case of an impending TIF in a patient with X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) and propose guidelines on the prevention and management of TIF in patients with NMDs.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze laryngotracheal separation (LTS) outcomes and evaluate the efficacy of the evaluation criteria for prophylactic innominate artery transection (PIAT) in neurologically impaired patients.
Methods: 67 patients who underwent LTS were reviewed. They were divided into three groups: patients without a tracheostomy tube (TT) (Group 1), patients with a TT but without PIAT (Group 2) and patients with TT and PIAT (Group 3).

Fistulization between the tracheobronchial tree and gastrointestinal tract is a challenging clinical situation that leads to life-threatening pulmonary contamination and inadequate nutrition. Operative management requires repair of both airway and esophageal defects with or without tracheal resection and reconstruction to restore a functional airway and maintain gastrointestinal continuity. Tracheoinnominate fistula is a rare communication between the airway and innominate artery that can result in fatal hemorrhage.
